We mentioned the death of Relic designer Brian Wood in passing yesterday, but details in the story we saw were scant. This article has more on the story, saying that Wood's last act was to swerve his car to the right to bear the brunt of an oncoming car, sparing his wife and unborn child from a head-on collision that likely would have killed them all. It's a moving story, and a heartbreaking one as well, especially since it seems drug use by the other driver likely played a role in the accident.

God Bless you, Mr. Wood. Being a father myself, I most certainly understand what you did and why you did it. When you are (or soon to be) a father, you really will go to great lengths to protect your children.
